About the Book

It always amazes me what beautiful and complicated patterns you can create with just a few simple flips, slides, turns, and so on. I had a great time collecting some of my favorite patterns for this book.

I create a lot of different patterns when I make quilts. There’s a quilting custom that you should put one “mistake” into your quilt so that you aren’t showing off that you can do something perfect. I usually follow this custom, even though my quilts are far from perfect anyway, partly because I never make the same pattern twice. That would be boring. So by the time I’m finally getting the hang of a new pattern, I’m usually finishing the quilt.
